kg1 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah I have a crappy camera in my phone, sorry about the quality, but it was found on the Oregon coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truceburner Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Even with a crappy phone camera, some well-lit outdoor photos would probably help jumpstart an ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg1 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 I started working on this and it appears there are tiny little teeth being uncovered..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave pom Allen Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 looks like fish teeth and an assortment of bones also looks like a possible vert at the bottom of shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batty Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Reminds me of fish gill filaments behind the rakers, or a sieving teeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batty Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Could they be bird bones? I was thinking pterodaustro, they had a comb like teeth for sieving food Edited May 1, 2013 by Batty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncoat Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would guess fish as well. Most of the jumbled bones in concretions i pick up along the Oregon coast end up prepping out to be fish. That being said i have never found any with visible teeth. I have heard of folks collecting fish jaws with teeth in the area though. Can't wait to see what the prep reveals. Keep us posted. - Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg1 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 no ideas on what type of fish yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Is there anyway you could get a closeup shot of just the teeth? Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharks of SC Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) no ideas on what type of fish yet? Bone close up 5-8-13.jpg I worked on a charter boat here in Charleston SC...It kinda reminds me of a wrasse/grouper/snapper or something...a large, stocky reef fish. I don't know how that translates to west coast paloefauna...but maybe a starting point. It looks awesome, whatever it is! Do you plan to continue prepping it?

kg1 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I will try to get a close up of the teeth tonight maybe, and yes I'm going to work on it some more over the next couple weeks time permitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 No help on ID - Its looking great though! How much more prep are you going to do?

Batty Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) That's looking more snapperish, the mouth and the area above it look very snapper like. We had one for tea Monday night, will try find the head for comparison. Can you tell if the jaw is hinged? And the shape of the gill rakes and scales would narrow it down.

kg1 Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 Havent really decided yet on how much more I'm going to do. If I had a bigger airscribe, then I would consider continuing to the other side. Anybody have a bigger airscribe than mine that they want to donate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
